It was 10 AM in the morning, I sat up on my bed with disheveled hair. I had decided to take a day off from university to give myself some room to breathe after what happened yesterday.
Who was that tall lady? Or should I say what is it? And that sound..it was clearly Desire, my lookalike that I had dreamed of in the hospital, was he the one that helped me get away from the tall lady by releasing the pink miasma?
But there's a silver lining out of all the ridiculous things I encountered yesterday, the awkward air between me and Lara seemed to have dissipated. Last night, both of us sat on the couch and quietly cleaned ourselves with the tissue box on the coffee table. We didn't speak a word as we ascended the stairs but just as I was about to enter my room, She called out to me.
"Ryan."
"Yes?"
"I-If you ever need my help again….just tell me."
"Okay."
"Goodnight. Ryan."
"Goodnight."
Both of us shared a gaze and Lara went back into her room. I stood there for quite a while before doing the same. As anyone might have expected, I didn't get much sleep but ever since that day from the hospital, I didn't really need much to stay awake through the day.

After a quick wash up, I went down the stairs to the dining table but found that everybody had gone out except Lisa, I could still see her shoes on the shoe rack, as always.
I went to the kitchen and reached for the coffee jar inside the top cabinet. I didn't really need the caffeine, I just like the taste of hot coffee in the cold morning. Before I could get a clean cup from the dish rack, I was interrupted by the sudden knocking sound from the front door.
"Who is it?" I yelled out as I made my way toward the front door, thinking that it was probably just the delivery driver. You would be surprised by how many parcels were sent to your house when you live with four girls. Most of the parcels belong to Lisa since she was not fond of going out, she's not an introvert by any means, she just likes to stay in her room.
Another knock came.
"I'm coming. I'm coming, couldn't you just leave it at the-" I swayed open the door, fully expecting a delivery driver at my doorstep but contrary to my expectations, two women stood in front of me with a casual look.
"Morning kid, I'm Detective Ashley Carter and she's my partner, Detective Kiara Estrada from the Special Crime Investigation Department of Amarod City Police Department."—flashing her badge to me—"We're looking for Ryan Black, is he in the house?" Ashley asked, expecting Ryan to be much taller, due to the surveillance footage being caught from above, she couldn't tell how tall he was.
Although Kiara had recognized Ryan at first sight, she decided to stand idle at the side as she was too lazy to correct Ashley and she preferred to let her do all the talking until she was needed to do so.
"I am."
"Eh? Oh, I'm sorry. We are here to ask some questions regarding a murder that happened last night in an apartment in Limerock Town." Ashley had not expected him to have such a youthful look and small stature because of the thick manly sex scent she sniffed last night but now that she focuses her sense of smell, he was indeed the man they looked for, there's a faint scent of vehicle smoke and the same smell that had made her instantly wet.
'Did he really have sex with it?' Ashley thought, her face blushed and lower abdomen tightened in response to the same but weaker scent from last night.
"C-Come in." I stuttered, remembering the man who was left in the kitchen in the apartment by the tall lady.
Inviting both of them in and leading them to the living room, I sat on the single seater while both of them sat on the three seater couch.
Ashley upon arriving in the living room immediately became uneasy. Despite Ryan and Lara making an effort to wipe the leather couch as cleanly as possible, some of Ryan's cum still accidentally slipped into the crevice of the couch. But this could not escape Ashley's heightened sense, especially when she's this close.
'This brat, after fucking the monster, he came back for another round? Are you a sex fiend or what?!' Ashley rubbed her meaty thighs together while pressing her hand on her throbbing abdomen as she sat beside Kiara.
"Mr. Black, can you explain what you were doing last night in Mr. Samson's apartment?" Kiara asked, not giving any mind to the weird antics of Ashley, she was sitting on the side of the couch nearest to Ryan's seat.
"I accepted a job in freelancer apps that required me to send a package to Mr. Samson. When I arrived, the front door was open, so I thought I could just leave the parcel on the dining table."
"Did you see what happened to Mr. Samson?"
"Yes…But…I'm not sure if you would believe me."
Kiara's eyes twitched to Ryan's answer. Despite already knowing that Ryan had indeed seen what happened and was attacked by it, she had to ask. Unlike Ashley's abilities, Kiara owns the ability to track lies, to be more precise, her exceptional hearing ability allowed her to hear even the faintest sound, like a person's heartbeat and much more accurate than a lie detector. That's the sole reason why she was the one responsible for asking the question and she likes the synergy they share. But different from Ashley, she could turn on and off of her ability by choice. If not, she would have gone mad.
Of course, lies weren't the only thing she's able to read, right now she could feel Ryan's heart palpitating anxiously.
"Trust us, we have seen things much worse." Kiara reassured me.
Taking a deep breath, I continued, "In the kitchen, a tall lady, a tall lady was sucking all the fluid out of the homeowner through his mouth."
"Tall Lady?" Both Ashley and Kiara exclaimed. "Could you describe what she looks like?" Kiara asked, taking a pocket notebook and a pen out from her pocket.
"She was about eight feet tall, with a v-voluptuous build. She was wearing some sort of hospital gown but too small for her, she seemed to have outgrown the gown....and her wrist, she was wearing a tag, the same tag that a patient would wear."
Kiara was scribbling all the details of 'it' in her note. No, 'she'. This was the biggest breakthrough they had, all this information allowed them to narrow their search.
"This sucking thing, has she done it to you?" Kiara pursued.
"Errr..Yes."
"Would you care to elaborate? Like how she does it?"
"How? Ummm. Well, she pushed her lips to mine and…and stuck her tongue in my mouth. She kinda swirls in my mouth for a while before thrusting into my throat….repeatedly." I grabbed a pillow from my back to hide my hardened cock.
"And how did you escape from the tall lady?"
"I-I'm not sure, she just loosened her grip on me and I quickly ran away." I decided to keep this a secret. I wasn't even sure how I got away but I had a bad feeling about it if I were to tell them about this mysterious miasma I released that night.
Kiara listened to him intently, unbothered by the description, writing down all the details like the good kid in front row of the class.
'He definitely had sex with it.' Ashley, on the other hand, was more determined than ever in her previous hypothesis after hearing what he said. And from her angle she could see his hardened bulge, a tip of wet spot slowly appearing on his pants. She clenched her thighs together and she could feel the heat in her tummy growing as she marveled at the girth of his bulge.
"Mr. Black, are you familiar with this?" Kiara asked as she pulled out a small pink pill in a transparent packet from her pocket.
"No. Not at all. What is it?" I heaved a sigh of relief internally at the change of direction after the barrage of embarrassing questions.
"This is a SBIA pill, an illegal performance enhancement drug that's been flowing in the dark market the past few years. This is the drug in the package you had sent to Mr. Samson's apartment."
"I…I swear I didn't know."
"I thought so," Kiara smirked, keeping the pill back in her pocket. From his heart beat, she knew he wasn't lying and this had removed the possibility that Ryan is a SBIA user. Which only leaves them with one conclusion, he is an EGS patient by genetic mutation.
What Kiara didn't explain was that the SBIA pill was more than a performance enhancement drug. It was originally a superhuman drug used by the military, inspired from the symptoms of Extreme Growth Spurt, in short EGS, which Ryan had.
Superhuman had always existed, way before the superhuman drug created in a project funded by the government. However, all these superhumans were the by-product of EGS disease but not every patient who had EGS were superhuman, only a sparse few were gifted. The same was true for the superhuman drug, some obtained physical capability far beyond professional athletes, only a few became superhuman and of course, some died.
But someone saw the commerciality of such drugs, they created an alternate version of the drug that is much smaller in dose, just enough to act as a stimulant to the brain, energizing a person throughout the day, the were marketed by drug dealers as stimulant drug with no side effect and once people tasted it, they got hooked and they begin the never ending addiction for more of it just to live through the day without being tired. The drug itself had no addictive substance but humans itself caused the addiction, we would rather have a meds to solve all our problems than to cut off the root of all our problems. And there's always a risk in the easier way out, people who consume it regularly develop high risk of EGS due to the EGS cells stacking up every time they take a pill, waiting for the perfect moment to explode. Most died but some who were luckier either grew an extra limb or became superhuman but the chance is slim
The drug was later named SBIA.

"Mr. Black. That's all we have to ask, we will be taking out leave. If you need anything or you have any extra information regarding the tall lady, feel free to contact me or Detective Carter," Both Kiara and Ashley handed their business card to me.
Soon, both Kiara and Ashley left and entered the car parking in front of my house.
"So, anything weird about him?" Ashley asked as she started the car.
"Is pretty much all the truth, except the part about how he ran away from the tall lady. He's hiding something." Kiara replied.
'I knew it. He definitely fuck her,' Ashley thought.
"Ashley, keep an eye on him, we can use him as bait to lure out the tall lady, she might come back for him again."
"Sure."
